Trinidad Rover

Oh for the halcyon days of Corrado Grabbi.

It was a good effort from the 'kids'. Ultimately we were not strong enough. I do not buy this narrative that VI is doing a good job with the squad he has at his disposal. Why? - 1 win in 11 games - Where is the accountability for the woeful squad we have? He has played along with Gestede and Pasha throughout. Rotten

Difference is - this is a manage who is not performing and therefore doesn't have the leverage to throw a strop.

I find it worrying (and depressing...) when I read Gueye is being moved so we can free up wages for a new striker. Surely he cannot have been on much having come from a crap side in the second tier of the Belgian league? He was simply not good enough for Blackburn Rovers and symbolic of what has happened to the club. Expect another cheap punt to come in...round and round we go

Awful since our goal. Bleak, bleak, bleak.

I’ll eat my words! Great ball to set up Yuki and a fabulous finish.!

Dear oh dear Tavares

Nasty that for Pears. Imagine a concussion sub.

More £££ on his value for the inevitable sale. Pasha will be pleased. Great achievement for him though and fully deserved after his form this year. Wish him well.

De Neve baffles.

Fode Koita might

Any update on the river?

Zero surprise with that outcome - Invited pressure for the last 30 minutes. Continued to the the ball away. De Neve has no brain. Missed too many chances to win it. VI needs to teach this lot game management.

Not particularly strange, there are no other fit centre backs at the club.

No wonder our gates are crap. We are woeful at home. Just awful.

Is Tavares injured or has he been deemed crap by the regime? Totally disappeared, unsurprisingly having seen him play in the first couple of games. Shocking signing.

That’s a red card

Oh Makhtar. Feel sorry for him almost, he is shocking.

Pears is a very bad goalkeeper

What’s Pears up to there?! Pratt showing lack of ability and football nous with jumping in.

https://www.reuters.com/world/india/venkys-india-swings-loss-second-quarter-weak-poultry-pricing-2025-11-07/ Largely macro factors but an 8% SP drop after a single quarter is significant. Reading the article looks as though they are (still) trying to diversify into other ventures. Rovers are one of the many that have likely failed to supplement the core business. With any business or P&L, when you get a negative top line the first thing that they will do is control the spend. We won't be seeing any investment for a while.....or, ever? Bleak times over at Venky towers. What a shame for them.

Looks like a sensible appointment, which is not a given with this lot. Hope he can do a good job and bring a few more of the academy lads through - recent squads suggest he has a job on his hands!

That is a big, big shame and blow to the new found momentum. Toth has been magnificent this season - his match winning save at the weekend for example. Glass half full....Pears may see this as a chance to put himself in the shop window and therefore actually put on a good show? (Ability permitting....) Hoping Wharton is not out for an equally long time.

Makhtar is so so so bad

Oh oh.
